    Popped in on a weekday lunch and it was perfect! It was very quiet (plus for people looking for a…read morekick-butt lunch during the week!) Super friendly server and zero wait. Space is pretty but could use a fresh paint job (I'm being very nitpicking here). Cannot beat the lunch specials! It's $11 (if I remember correctly) for a soup and entree with either steamed or fried rice and the portions are full dinner portions. Everything was delicious! My companion got the special with chicken with vegetables and fried rice and a cup of egg drop soup. I got crab Rangoon (obsessed - they have the best I've ever had), salt & pepper dry pot chicken, and spicy wontons. My only complaint is a minor one but I didn't think the wontons were spicy at all. Next time I will ask for more spice. It's a solid choice for lunch or dinner and will definitely be back!

    This location has changed hands a few times. Used to be different middle eastern restaurants but…read morethis latest incarnation is a Sichuan style restaurant. This was our second visit here -- it provides an efficient decor and service, and has both an American Chinese as well as Sichuan style Chinese food. This visit we got their fish filets in Sichuan spicy soup and their sautéed vegetables. The Sichuan spicy soup was delicious and has a good amount of heat. The stir fried vegetables were sautéed with garlic -- a bit on the bland side but pretty good and a good complement to the spice levels of the Sichuan fish. The quality and variety of Sichuan offerings in Columbus continues to grow, and Fiery Sky Asian Kitchen is the latest example of this. We will definitely be repeat customers here.

    When I read they are closing soon (6/28/26) I thought crap, I have a Columbus Independents voucher…read moreto use. Paid $25 for a $50 certificate. I rushed to get ready for their 3:00 happy hour. It's Friday. Paid $30 at a parking garage because it's ComFest weekend. Ugh. There were 2 people there. The bartender and a guy at the bar. The music was excruciatingly loud. I couldn't hear her and told her so. Then I heard they were doing things differently and something about hibachi. I then asked if they would accept my voucher. She took it to the bar guy, came back with it and said something I couldn't hear. I said so. She was informed they could not accept it. I declined to stay. It was disappointing since I made a special trip but even more annoying to not hear because of the music. Why stay open 2 more days? There were no customers and it's ComFest. And why not accept the voucher? Goodbye. Forno received my business.

The sign said to seat yourself and we did. 15 minutes later there was no sign still of the wait staff. Finally we got the attention of someone who told us they were having staff problems and problems with the chef. That should have been our warning sign. Our order was for the pad thai, two sushi rolls, and poppers. The poppers were undercooked. The PadThai was made without the ingredients being mixed through and it was so salty that we couldn't finish it. the sushi rolls were kind of bland and the fried portions of the rolls were soggy. The raw fish in the sushi rolls was warm which made me wonder if I was going to spend the evening in urgent care. We were comped one of the appetizers but it couldn't make up for the missteps along the way. Piece of advice: if your staff is not organized and on board, don't open. The damage that can be done to your reputation isn't worth the one night of lost revenue. I wish it had been better but it made my last night in Columbus a bit disappointing.

The prices are refreshingly fair, the food comes out fresh every single time, and the vegetarian options? Chef's kiss. I blanked on the name of my dish but my taste buds definitely remember it. My husband, a man of few words when it comes to food compliments, was also thoroughly impressed with his meal. If you're on the fence, consider this your sign. We'll be back. Probably soon.

    Curiosity satisfied…read more. We dropped by without reservation for Saturday dinner, they had seating at the bar area or the high table. We chose the latter. The place is not big and they usually have large parties coming in, thus fills the space quickly. We started with Tofu chicharron which we were expecting to be crispy - because chicharron means 'crackling pork rinds' but these Tofu were soft a lil disappointed there. We tried the pork sisig, it was okay. It has this mayo topping and there's an overpowering taste of ginger which is not typical of sisig. We enjoyed the grilled pork belly though, marinated enough and it's complimented with soy vinegar dip. The pancit on the other hand was very greasy. The oil was pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Taste was was just okay. It has way too many chinese sausage in it. We completed our meal with Ube Carioca, it is this chewy rice cake that is deep fried with glazed sweetness & that was okay as well. We wanted the mango sago, however they were out. The service was prompt and adequate parking space.

    This is a fairly new place that has worked out its new place kinks IMO. We first visited when it…read morewas about a month old and in the wintertime. The place had potential but the ingredients seemed scarce & not fresh in the self serve bar (which made it unappetizing like a dried up hot buffet would lol), and the mango bingsu we ordered at the time had unripened hard, and unsweet mango in it. It wasn't in season obviously. It's been almost a year and we decided to give it another try after shopping at Sunrise. Upon entering, I could already smell the Malatang spices. It was also pretty crowded! The last time we went, we were the only ones there the entire meal. The cold bar of ingredients was stocked full and seemed very fresh this time. You can get your bowl dry or in broth. I decided on with broth. They have a choice of tomato, bone, or spicy broth. I had them mix the spicy and bone broth because I can do too spicy. It came out in about 10/15mins because they were busy. Huuuge bowl!! - Enough for two people or leftovers. Rice is $2 extra and there are so many choices for noodles if you prefer that. The bingsu for dessert was my favorite . Sooo different than last time! The mango was juicy and fresh and played so nicely with the puree jam, vanilla ice cream and condensed milk. Yummy!! I opted for no red bean in mine. There are alot of different flavors to choose from too - strawberry, pistachio, matcha, black sesame, etc.... You need to give this place a try if you enjoy malatang and bingsu. I'll definitely be back soon...Maybe after every grocery run lol

    Hey Broth specializes in having a build your own bowl station, equipped with all kinds of veggies,…read moretoppings, and proteins. Just grab a bowl and some tongs and grab those that you like. I liked how fresh their veggies were and when they ran out of one thing, they quickly replaced it. I made sure to grab some Napa cabbage, bok choy, enoki mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, tofu skins, and beef. The beef was slightly frozen, which was a good sign because I led feel iffy about eating raw beef that was sitting out at room temp for a long time. They have an assortment of ramen so also got a pack of seafood ramen and was able to split it with my friend. In terms of choosing your ramen flavor, seasoning doesn't matter as much as noodle texture because they just use the noodles and toss the seasoning away. Once you get to the check out, they weigh your bowl and you can pay. The build your own bowls range from about $13-15 per pound and you can choose between dry or soup bowls and spicy or mild. I got the spicy mala soup bowl and it was medium spicy (4/10 for me). If you want more seasoning, there's a sauce bar that has cilantro, garlic, oil, hoisin, and other sauces. They cook the bowl for you and bring it to your table. I liked how they cut the fish balls in half to make them easier to eat. Everything was cooked well but the flat rice noodles got a bit soggy. They also have rice bowls and bingsoo (shaved ice) for dessert. By the time I finished my bowl, I was very full but I'll have to try their other dishes next time. In terms of pricing, if you're not a big eater, it would be a good option compared to all you can eat places since you can control the amount of ingredients and you don't have to feel the pressure of trying to finish all your food. They have containers for leftovers so you can take some home if you want!
